  • Description: For this recording, the drums performed alone without the singing, but on occasion with the whistles in the background provided by the dancers. Each of the 3 drums can be heard separately with its distinctive tune, the Akanono, the Cimbulunge, and the Fwanda-fwanda, each of which has a fairly complex rhythm and tone pattern to add to the whole resultant. It would appear that the Lala style of drumming are among the most evolved in N. Rhodesia. The stick, as in common in this region adds a percussive rhythm of its own and is beaten on to the body of one of the drums adding to the general welter of sound. The rattle was an improvisation, being a small rectangular tin containing pieces of metal and not a specially constructed article. Drum rhythm with 3 conical drums and 1 stick, whistles and rattle

  • Description: The Lala often take the work of tree-felling for others, as they are specially good at it.

People belonging to the "Sand" clan (totem) are clever, because they choose a specially large tree and worship there, considering it to be a great work of God." "There are women who despise those men who stay at home in the country, so let me go to the town to marry a wiser man." The tribe being matrilineal inherits through the female side. A son-in-law has to assist his wife's family-hence the reference to "no son-in-law to help him." Self-delectative song with Kankowele mbira, fan-shaped, with external resonator
